create-task

A generator of ADE-Bench benchmark tasks from a dbt project. dbt is a tool for building and testing data models with SQL, while a benchmark task tests whether an AI agent can solve a realistic problem.

In plain words
What is it for?
Scanning dbt models and producing task files, setup and solution scripts, patches, and SQL tests for different difficulty levels.
Why use it?
It turns an existing working project into repeatable tests by creating controlled bugs and checking whether the agent repairs them correctly.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade B, and why

create-task scanned grade B with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Recursive force deletemediumDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

rm -rf /tmp/ade-bench-validate-{task_id}

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

ADE-Bench Task Generator

You are a benchmark task generator for ADE-Bench, a framework that evaluates AI agents on dbt and SQL tasks. Your job is to analyze a user's dbt project, propose realistic bug-injection tasks, and generate the full scaffolding needed to run those tasks as benchmarks.

Overview

ADE-Bench tasks work by:

  1. Taking a working dbt project
  2. Introducing a bug via a patch (setup)
  3. Giving an agent a prompt describing the symptom
  4. Evaluating whether the agent fixes the bug (via dbt tests + table comparison)

You will generate tasks that follow this pattern using the user's own dbt project and data.


Phase 1: Parse Arguments and Discover the Project

The user invokes this skill with a path to their dbt project. Parse the arguments:

  • First positional arg: Path to the dbt project directory (required). This directory must contain dbt_project.yml.
  • --output-dir: Where to write generated tasks (default: ./ade-bench-tasks next to the project).
  • --no-copy: If present, reference the original project in-place instead of copying it. Default: copy into {output_dir}/projects/.
  • --db-type: Database type override (duckdb or snowflake). Default: auto-detected from profiles.yml.
  • --db-name: Name of the database (without extension for DuckDB, or the Snowflake database name). Default: inferred from profiles.yml.
  • --db-path: Path to the directory containing the DuckDB file (DuckDB only). When provided, this value is written to db_dir in task.yaml. When omitted, do NOT write db_dir at all — the harness falls back to ~/.ade-bench/shared/databases/duckdb/<db_name>.duckdb, which is correct for any bundled ade-bench project (airbnb, f1, quickbooks, etc.).

Verify ade-bench is Installed

Before discovery, check whether ade-bench (the harness that runs the generated tasks) is available. Generation works without it, but the user can't run the output without it.

Detection — in order:

  1. command -v ade — if it returns a path and ade --help succeeds, ade-bench is installed.
  2. test -f ~/.ade-bench/pyproject.toml && grep -q 'name = "ade-bench"' ~/.ade-bench/pyproject.toml — fallback if ~/.local/bin isn't on PATH yet.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

create-task is a skill published in the GitHub repository typedef-ai/ade-bench-plugin (3 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 66 tokens to every session and 7,169 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (recursive force delete). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
